[SUGGESTION] Repairing new tools

Quote from hron84

Another simple idea: I noticed I cannot repair forge hammer and cutter with normal Minecraft way by crafting 2 used tool together (same tools, of course). It would be useful if it can be done because it's natural in MC, and I think most player will find this possibility. Of course it not means Forge Hammers can be repaired with Force Hammer, or other variation because these are two different tool, as I cannot repair a stone pickaxe with a diamond one, even if I want to do that.

Notch repair is actually called repar.

I think it would make more sense to repair with anvil instead of smashing two hammers together.

Except that by the time you have an anvil, you're generally not using hammers and cutters anymore because you can also afford a metalformer.

Good point.

Then again, I forsee no use for reparing hammers and cutters. I think 80 plates is more than enough for a metal former, even on SMP. Same for cables.

From past experience, I usually build... two hammers and one cutter before migrating completely to machinery, yeah. It's not a super big issue.

I suppose if people use hammers a lot for the sheer crafting speed, it might matter more to them.
